If Kovalev can’t take a punch then doesn’t that mean it wont be too impressive if Canelo ko’s him? Weight classes exist for a reason and no matter what happens props to Canelo for taking the risk if the fight goes through.
I hear the canelos bodypunch skills argument a lot here, but its not easy to get inside kovalevs range especially with that much height and reach difference.
People forget that canelo isnt a pressure fighter by nature. He lacks footspeed to easily close the distance and the ability to cut off the ring, thats why he had problems with laras movement.
Nevertheless, not sure if kovalev can fight a controlled fight for 12 rounds and he lacks spoiler tactics skills to shut down canelo if he makes the way into close range.
every body believing that Kov doesn't do well wid body shots might be banking on that a lil to much....if there is no rehydration clause it would make for a very interesting fight.
